Happiness.
A term loosely used by most, and what does it exactly mean?
According to our good friend Wiki, it states that "Happiness is a state of mind or feeling such as contentment, satisfaction, pleasure, or joy."
Ah, I see the word satisfaction there.
Satisfaction is basically achieved when you are in ease with your mind.
However, from my observations, we are never satisfied with what we have.
Test results, possessions, wealth, the way we are treated, attention, time.
We always want more, whether it is in terms of quality, quantity or both.
It does not help that we now live in a society that is fast-paced, which accelerates depreciation of goods, increases competition amongst people and decreases the amount of spare time we have which can be used to establish firm relationships.
Which all leads to one problem: Dissatisfaction, which in turn cause unhappiness.
So why don't we just take a breather and stop progressing. It would minimise the level of our dissatisfaction, right?
Yet, we are unable to do so. Why? Because it is this dissatisfaction that prompts us to progress, to seek for the thing that would be able to make us happy once and for all.
Oh, the irony of it all.
